21 “May there be no dew or rain on the mountains of Gilboa,
    and may their fields produce no [L offerings of] grain,
because there the mighty warrior’s shield was ·dishonored [defiled; despised].
    Saul’s shield will no longer be ·rubbed [anointed] with oil.
22 Jonathan’s bow did not ·fail [turn back]
    ·to kill many soldiers [L from shedding the blood of the slain].
Saul’s sword did not ·fail [return empty]
    ·to wound many strong men [L from the fat/bodies of the mighty].

23 “We loved Saul and Jonathan
    and ·enjoyed [admired] them ·while they lived [in life].
    They ·are together [were not parted] even in death.
They were ·faster [swifter] than eagles.
    They were stronger than lions.
